They are a great snake. The "venomous" aspect is a huge debate. Don't submerge yourself in this. The hognose snake has a wonderful little attitude and great disposition. I have a pair and love them to death. They pose no real threat to people. Bites rarely occur, and the ones that do happen are often due to a feed response when people smell like food. They put on a nice little defensive display, but is more often than not a huge bluff. I would highly recommend this snake species to anyone who is looking to get their first snake.
Hope this helps!
